What? Multitouch without lining the pockets of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs? Blasphemer! Communist! Why, that's downright un-American! Put him in Gitmo!;)
The question is: okay, so we know it will be free as in beer, and that they will have Windows first, then Mac and Linux later. But what about free as in speech? This is all in software -- so will they be releasing this under an open source license? And if not, why?
No, they don't think that differently really. More, it's like women obfuscate their thinking. Ask any man on here's whose married. They just can't understand what women are thinking. At all. That's because their thinking is obfuscated.
So women don't write obfuscated code? Well, since their thinking is ofuscated, it doesn't matter! Their comments will say things like "I wrote this becuase I felt like it!" and "To use this object, you have to describe your feelings to it."
And men just go like "WTF??? I couldn't obfuscate this well if I wrote the damned thing in befunge!"
The only major roadblock is political -- you have a large number of very powerful corporations with a vested interest in keeping things exactly as they are. If these guys don't cut the British Petroleums, Exxon-Mobils, and Sunocos of the world in on this, you'll see it get buried in bureaucratic regulations.
I think it's a little more like, you invaded Iraq, you pay the price.
Ramping up production generally lowers prices by increasing supply.
But as far as the price of oil goes -- its very much a result of supply and demand -- demand goes up, supply goes down, prices go up.
And the Middle East supplies about only about 1/3rd of the oil in the United States. Most of the rest comes from Canada and homegrown sources, and even a little bit comes from Europe. Given the increased diversity of our oil supply since the 1970s, it's unlikely that Saudi Arabia alone could control the price of oil.
That's silly, the server is in a different room. Drums might work. Won't work by itself with the door closed. Try adding in some good omnidrectional microphones, and a couple of good PA amplifiers and speakers. The neighbors might complain though.
Isn't a hypervisor essentially a debugger for virtual machines? What I mean is, it's my understanding that virtualization is built on the same technology that debuggers use, with some extra support for it added in the processor. Do I misunderstand?
Easily. Google will carry Yahoo's ads and Yahoo will carry Google's ads. As an ad buyer, you still have a choice of vendors, with your ads hitting a wider audience. How this a bad thing?
Sounds like a classic example of attacking the person rather than what he is saying. I dont know anything about this guy, but just because he was wrong about that doesnt mean he is wrong about this. Wrong is an understatement. Enderle was saying the same things even after the judge threw out all of SCO's claims.
Personally, I can see how he has a point. Google and Yahoo control an overwhelming percentage of the market share when combined. They have competition. If none are as big as Google and Yahoo, maybe it's their approach rather than Google buying up all the competition. Even so, an alliance between Yahoo and Google is hardly going to make a monopoly -- Yahoo will still be competing with Google, they will just get the mutual benefit of each others' customers.
That way, you get all the benefits of free software without having to put the non-free components in hardware or on a separate CPU. But you already don't have to use virtualization. There's nothing to stop me from writing and running compiled C code on top of a Linux kernel and glibc. If it were a problem, we wouldn't have closed applications like Google Earth or Skype. Both the Linux kernel and glibc contain necessary license exceptions which allow this to happen.
Why add the overhead of virtualization if it's not necessary?
Rob Enderle is an idiot and a compulsive liar. He's also a paid Microsoft shill. His comments on the SCO v. IBM and SCO v. Novell, etc. were always something along the lines of "SCO is going to win. SCO has a good case. Linux contains pirated UNIX code." And so forth. If Rob Enderle told me the sky was blue, I would run outside and check for myself.
It's not about me. It's about "grepping the user agent string for specific browsers is just plain stupid".
I agree. But that there are enough things that work differently between IE and browsers that are more standards-compliant that you have to make special allowances for them.
Really, everyone should just code their pages so that they are W3C compliant, but people just don't seem to want to screw rendering up for a browser with 70% of the market share.
Using Firefox 3? How about you try enabling JavaScript (or allowing nasa.gov in NoScript) and then you'll see that it works just fine, thankyouverymuch.
In fact, in all my years of working in corporate environments I have seen a grand total of ONE dual-boot machine and it was custom-built for a specialized purpose involving some discreet simulation software that ran on both Linux and Windows and it was so occasional that the Windows version was needed that it was deemed a waste of money to have two machines, so they decided to dual boot the Linux box. *shrug*
hard to bring it into corporate environment when you can't read from a Windows partition.
How so? As a desktop client, Mac OS X has already had excellent support for SMB/CIFS for quite sometime. Mac OS X Server also has an excellent implementation of CIFS powered by Samba+LDAP and can even join an ActiveDirectory domain.
Unfortunately, Chase's acquittal set sort of an unofficial precedent that judges should never be impeached based on their performance on the bench -- any judge impeached since Chase has been impeached only for outright criminal activity outside of the courtroom.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the temperature. Water isn't really very wet at, say, 0 degrees Kelvin.
There's a length limitation for Slashdot article headlines. That's why the editors and article submitters tend to abbreviate so much.

Really, really long distance solution: 802.11, wireless Internet, SSH and TightVNC tunneled over SSH. Now you can check on your PVR from Starbucks.
